Have a Laugh!

There’s nothing like a good laugh. Laughing cheers you up, freshens up your thoughts and feels good also physically. At its best it reboots you.  Comedy Estonia (http://comedyestonia.wordpress.com/) just served this reboot to me with its open mic stand up show. An international  group of comedians gave their best to the audience crowding the place, making it laugh until it cried, and giving a chance for those brave enough to take the mic to also tell their craziest, rudest, most surprising and the best jokes and stories public. Would you have the courage to do that?

Experiencing a show like that is about creativity and culture at its best: bringing together people with different backgrounds, making them share a moment of joy, laugh together and to each other.  In my opinion stand up is also an art that exists only in the moment, because you couldn’t fully plan it forehanded or save the laughter for later. At the same time it leaves its mark – a smile – to the faces of those enjoying it. 

Comedy Estonia is a great cultural act and a creative business. It is a service that you can pay for and have a laugh with a price but they are also willing to offer it to everyone with no price, and thus they are truly doing their part in making culture easy to approach and accessible to all of us. This example should be followed by any cultural institution, and again I am finding myself thinking how great it is to find this happening in Estonia, and in Tartu!

The next time Comedy Estonia is performing in Tartu is March the 15^th. To guarantee the daily portion of joy I would highly recommend anyone to participate the event.  We need to look after ourselves to make sure we get the reasonable amount of laughter every day, but it’s a great advantage to have creative operators such as Comedy Estonia to make it easy for us to get this laughter. For these purposes I could recommend some laughter yoga also, but that is a whole another story...
